TOPS MO # 9319 El Dorado Springs

TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church, 1300 S. Summer St, El Dorado Springs on Thursday, Dec. 17, for their weekly weigh-in and meeting.

Carol led us in singing “Walkedy, Walk, Walk.”

We said our TOPS and KOPS pledges.

Congratulations Linda H. She reached her goal today and is now a KOPS. Yeah Linda!

Judy K will be moving to Iowa on Saturday. We will miss her very much. She was a long-time member of our chapter and a very sweet and talented lady. We wish her well.

Susan read a card from Marilyn and a card from Claudia.

Robbie reminded us she keeps the marble game tickets upstairs where we sign in.  If you want to purchase one see her.

Susan led us in roll call: Fifteen members weighed in today, we had a gain of 7.4 and a loss of 11.2 resulting in a net loss of 3.8. Laura was our best loser with a loss of 4.4.  Robbie had a 1.8 loss, and Sue C had a 4.0 loss over a period of 4 weeks. Linda H reached her KOPS status. Congratulations to all.

Susan had the program today. She went back to chapter 6 of the Real People Real Life book. She discussed how we need to take time for ourselves and take care of ourselves first so we will be able to do the things we want and need to do. Take time to think about the goals you want to reach and then think about how you will do this. Is this something you can do? Ask yourself how do I get myself to do the things I know I need to do to feel better about myself.

Find something you can do and that you enjoy doing and will look forward to doing.

Write a commitment letter to yourself.

Thank you, Susan, for a very thoughtful program.

We are reminded we will meet next week on Tuesday, Dec. 22.

With no other business meeting was adjourned with the quote of the day. “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream” CS Lewis
